Title: sequence element mis match
Post by: razataz327 on September 08, 2019, 07:38:36 PM: Hi I am not sure if this is the right spot to post this. Please guide me to the right one if not.
I am trying to load last years sequence from my saved files and I get this box opening up.

Sequence element miss match

Model tree roof does not exist in your list of models.
It says this with all the models I used and saved last year.
I am using 2019.46 64 bit. I did the updates last week and tried to open the files.
thanks in advance for your help

Seems like there are always little changes that mess thing up and the process lets you make a lot of good changes as you become more experienced - like a better naming convention, better grouping, etc. Once you have created a mapping file for the first sequence you import all the others will come across in minutes.

Post by: razataz327 on September 09, 2019, 04:07:37 PM: I didnt rename or change anything. I opened xlights and went to load the sequence from last year and no go.
I tried it again and same result.

Thanks for your help

Post by: razataz327 on September 09, 2019, 09:47:25 PM: I thought it was going to the right place. I will double check it. I didnt change anything from last year so not sure why it is doing this.

Post by: razataz327 on September 11, 2019, 10:07:25 PM: Hi . I checked the show directory location and it is where all my items are. , fesq file, xbkp file and the xml file with the nutcracker icon on it.
I click on the open sequence folder and it opens the folder showing the xml files. I click on one of them and the box opens saying sequence element mismatch.
I dont know what is going on.
Thanks for the help.

Post by: razataz327 on September 12, 2019, 10:33:53 PM: Ok . What files do you need to see and how do I do that? I am better at building things than using a computer.
Sorry for that and thanks for your help
